Some points about Immigration CEC program:
- Immigration Refugee Citizenship Canada evaluate language level of applicants who worked in different occupations, based on the occupations with the most days. For example, if the applicant has worked in occupations in code 5, A class and in code 7, B class, if the length of her/his work is longer in the B class occupation, his/her language level will be evaluated as CLB5.
- Part time work experience is eligible for immigration through CEC program if the total hours is equivalent to the minimum required hours.
- According to the rules of Immigration Refugee Citizenship Canada, occupational duties are significantly effective in visa result and most of these duties must be included in the list of NOC duties to convince immigration officer. Otherwise, the case will be void.
- It is necessary to have a language score to apply for CEC immigration program and the applicant need to achieve the minimum point in a valid English or French test.
